Data Engineer Jobs for AI Teams

Consultancies are the most visible employers on this hub. Capco has 28 open data engineer roles, CI&T 18, Artefact 11, WPP 11 and ThoughtWorks 10, with Esri the largest product company at 14. That tells you something about the work: much of it is building and migrating pipelines, warehouses and lakehouses for client AI programs, alongside in-house roles that feed training data and features to ML teams.

As of September 2026 the hub holds about 1,375 live listings from the last 60 days, and 156 were posted in the past seven days, so the page refreshes at more than twenty listings a day. Titles are plain: Data Engineer, Senior Data Engineer, Data Engineer I, Staff Data Engineer for analytics, and the occasional Senior Growth Data Engineer attached to a product team.

Experience requirements cluster in the middle. Mid level (2 to 5 years) accounts for 559 listings and senior (5 to 8 years) for 543, so together they are more than eight in ten of the levelled roles; staff and principal add 154 and lead or architect 73. India is unusually strong here with 116 listings, second to the US at 267 and ahead of the UK (80), Canada (44) and Germany (44). Sixty four percent of the listings are remote.

Fourteen percent of listings state a US dollar salary, and the median midpoint among them is about $185,000 a year, lower than the machine learning engineer median on this site but drawn from a similar share of disclosing employers. Filter by country before anything else, because India-based and US-based data engineering roles differ widely in what they pay and expect. /remote-data-engineer-jobs is the remote subset, /mlops-jobs the neighboring platform slice, and /python-jobs catches pipeline roles that use a language rather than a job title in the heading.
